Tire Rotation

Tire Rotation

Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to Maintenance Schedule (North American Emissions) in Maintenance and Lubrication. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever uneven tire wear is noticed.

Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary.

Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (4 Lug Wheel) Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (5 Lug Wheel).





Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then set the tire pressure.
